Meet the 2022-2023 Graduate Assistants
Time to meet this year's Admissions Graduate Assistants (GAs), readers! Our GAs are a crucial part of our operation each year, providing support in a lot of our communications, event planning, and application processing during the peak of Admissions season. They also are often the first people prospective students will meet or contact, and they're great sources of information on the Fletcher student experience. We're thrilled to welcome Chiara, Gabe, and Taehee to our team this year!...
